Michael,
What is cost? I saw people buying decoupage icons for more than $50.

The Ruthenians publish "Byzantine Book of Prayer". You can get it from Byzantine Seminary Press for $15. Much of it is similar to the Jordanville prayer book, but each one has its own unique features.

[ 11-12-2001: Message edited by: Edwin ] Dear Edwin, I wasn't aware that there was an abbreviated version of BDW. Got any information on it vis a vis price, content, etc.? And since we kinda left prayer books and went into the larger sort of liturgical prayer books, has anyone any acquaintance with the "Unabbreviated Horologion" which, I believe, is put out by Jordanville as well?

Is anyone familiar with the "ORTHODOX PRAYERS OF OLD ENGLAND Third Edition 2000"? it is published by St. Hilarion press. I am interested in buying one, but would like any opinions that you may have.
Gloria Tibi, Christe!

Mor Ephrem: My own recommendations include: Byzantine Daily Worship ($60) by Archbishop Joseph Raya and Baron Jose De Vinck This book has it all. If Byzanitnes do it, it is in here. The best part is the Septuagint Psalms which can also be had as a seperate book ($23). Both are available from Light and Life publishing. www.light-n-life.com [ light-n-life.com] I know of no abbreviated version of the above. Perhaps Byzantine Book of Prayer ($30) is meant, which uses illustration and translations of the above including the Psalms. This is a pretty good basic book. It does not have all the material BDW does but it is good for a beginner. It is also available from Light and Life. Also very good are A Prayerbook ($35) and The Psalter ($40) by the Monks of New Skete. The Prayerbook has the full cycle of services and the translation is very good. It also has reforms started by New Skete such as replacing the Canons of Matins with the actual Scripture Canticles. (A good thing in my opinion) They can be ordered by phone at 1-518-677-3928 For those looking for an inexpensive book, A Book for Prayer ($5.50) by the Melkite Eparchy's Educational Services. Just the basics: Morning and Evening prayers, preparation for the Mysteries of Repentance and Communion, but very good. It can be ordered at www.theobooks.org [ theobooks.org] Hope this helps. In Christ, Lance, deacon candidate [ 11-12-2001: Message edited by: Lance ]

Dear LTC,
The western-rite prayerbook published by St Hilarion's is a GEM. It's worth every penny - it's worth several times the price. All I can say is, get it!
Yours in Domino,
Edward

OK, OK, I shall bother you all one last time (hopefully  ). I don't have the money for BDW, although if I did I might have gotten that, since it seems rather comprehensive. My question is whether or not anyone out there is familiar with "A Prayer Book for Orthodox Christians", put out by Holy Transfiguration Monastery? How does it compare?
